Usage Precautions
Electrical interference
For safety considerations, the 707II has been designed to
provide maximum protection against the emission of
electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and
protection from external interference. However, equipment
that is very susceptible to interference or that emits powerful
electromagnetic waves should not be placed near the 707II,
as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.
With any type of digital control device, the 707II included,
electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning and
can corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to
minimize the risk of damage.
Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the 707II. If necessary, slightly
moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or
solvents (such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since
these may dull the finish or damage the surface.
Please keep this manual in a convenient place

for future reference.
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the ZOOM 707II GUITAR (subsequently referred to as "the 707II").
The 707II is a sophisticated multi-effect processor for guitar with the following attractive features.
Versatile effects
The Variable Architecture Modeling System(VAMS) adapts the internal configuration of the unit to
achieve exactly the desired sound. The wide range of choices includes distortion effects, modulation
effects such as chorus and flanger, reverb and delay effects, as well as a booster and cabinet
simulator. A total of 74 effects are available.
120 great sounding patches

Effect module setting combinations can be stored as patches. The 707II offers 60 patches which can
be freely modified by the user, plus 60 preset patches. These settings will let you make great music
straight away.
Full complement of distortion effects

33 distortion type effects not only recreate the characteristics of famous guitar amps but also
duplicate the sound and operation of renowned compact effects and pedals. Dedicated knobs and
keys assure quick and easy operation.
Designed for use on stage

The 707II can be powered from an AC adapter or batteries. With one set of alkaline batteries, the
unit will operate continuously for up to 11 hours. The large display showing patch names, and the
built-in expression pedal for fine-tuning the sound are great for live performances.
Knobs provide direct editing feel

Various aspects (effect parameters) that control the sound of a module can be directly modified with
three handy knobs. The Easy Edit feature lets you tweak the knobs for adjusting parameters also
during play. Of course, you can store the results in your own patch.
Sampling feature for recording

A guitar phrase or the signal from an input source such as a CD player can be sampled for up to 6
seconds and stored in the internal memory. When using a 16 MB SmartMedia card, you can record
up to 60 samples or 4 minutes of music. A recorded sample can even be played back at a slower
speed without altering the pitch. This is a great tool for enhancing a live performance or for copying
a lick or fast-played phrase.
SmartMedia card allows unlimited number of patches and samples

Patches and samples can be stored on separately available SmartMedia cards (up to 60 patches x 5
groups / 60 samples per card). Stored data can be read back into the unit at any time. This gives you
unlimited potential for building a library of patches and samples.
Integrated rhythm function

60 built-in rhythm patterns using natural-sounding PCM sources are available, which is great for
practice or a quick jam session.
Link samples, rhythm, pedal settings to patches

The selection of rhythm patterns and samples can be stored for each patch individually, allowing
synchronized operation when switching patches. Even the pedal adjustment range can be memorized
for a patch.
Introduction
In order to get the most out of this sophisticated product, please read this manual carefully before
use.
We recommend that you keep the manual at hand for future reference.

Patches, groups and banks

A combination of 707II effects, each with
distinct parameter settings, is called a patch.
Patches are organized in banks (A - F, 0 - 5)
and patch numbers (0 - 9). It is also possible
to assign a name of up to six characters to a
patch.
The patches of the 707II are stored in two
different groups: the USER group (banks A
- F) for read-and-write patches that can be
freely overwritten by the user, and the
PRESET group (0 - 5) for read-only patches
that cannot be changed by the user. There
are 60 patches in each group, resulting in a
total of 120 patches.

Using the Sampler Function

The 707II incorporates a sampler function that allows recording the input signal in the internal
memory or on a SmartMedia card.
This can be used to record a phrase from the guitar connected to the [INPUT] jack or the
sound from an external source such as a CD player connected to the [AUX IN] jack. When
using the internal memory, the maximum recording duration is 6 seconds (1 sample). When
using a 16 MB SmartMedia card, up to 4 minutes (maximum 60 samples) can be recorded. A
recorded phrase can also be played at slower speed without changing the pitch. This is
convenient to copy a fast-played phrase from a CD.
For playing a sample, you can choose between two modes: "one-shot playback" where the
sampled phrase is played once when you operate a key or pedal, and "loop playback", where
the sampled phrase continues to play until stopped.
1.
When wishing to use a SmartMedia

card, turn power to the 707II off,
insert the SmartMedia card into the
card slot, and then turn power on
again. (For information on inserting a
SmartMedia card, see p. 6.)
can also be turned on by pushing the pedal all

the way down ( p.24).
The subsequent steps are slightly different,
depending on whether a SmartMedia card is
inserted or not.

available.
If "GT" is selected, the signal after passing the

effects is sampled. If "AUX" is selected, the
effects are bypassed.
When recording from the [AUX IN] jack, you can
minimize noise and distortion by turning the
[OUTPUT] knob up past the midway point and
adjusting the output level of the external source
so that the volume is about equal to that of a

The edit mode allows you to freely alter the parameters that make up a patch, so that you
can create your own patches. This section describes how to edit patches and how to store
edited patches.
Patch Configuration
Each patch of the 707II consists of several effects (effect modules), as shown in the
illustration below. A patch is a combination of modules, each with their distinct parameter
settings.
BOOSTER
INPUT
ISO/COMP
DRIVE
EQ
ZNR

MODULATION
DLY/REV
OUTPUT
Within each module, there are several different but related effects which are called effect types. For
example, the MODULATION module comprises effect types such as CHORUS, PHASER, and WAH.
The elements that determine the sound of a patch are called effect parameters. Each module has several
effect parameters, whose value can be adjusted with the parameter knobs 1 3, the [DRIVE] knob,
[DRIVE VARIATION] key, etc.
N OTE
Also within the same module, different effect types will have different parameters.
Basic Edit Mode Steps

This section describes the basic procedure for editing patches. For information on effect
types and parameters in the various modules, see p. 33 38.

In play mode, select the patch you

want to edit.
Patches for editing can be selected from either

the USER group or the PRESET group.
However, the PRESET group does not allow
storing. When you have altered a patch from the
PRESET group and want to store it, "A0" in the
USER group is automatically selected as store
target.

Other Functions
The 707II also incorporates various other convenient functions which are described in this
section.
Using the Hold Delay Function

The DLY/REV module comprises a hold delay effect that allows recording and playing a
guitar phrase of up to 2 seconds. You can also play the phrase in reverse or perform loop
playback to create interesting "sound-on-sound" layers.
1.
In play mode, select the patch to use

with hold delay.
2.
Press the [EDIT] key to activate edit

mode, and select "HLDDLY" as effect
type for the DLY/REV module.

Use parameter knob 1 to set the TIME

parameter.
5.
The MIX parameter controls the mixing ratio of

the delayed sound. A setting of 30 results in
equal levels of direct sound and delayed sound.
6.
The TIME parameter determines the length of

the recording interval for hold delay. Turning
the knob changes the value as follows.
1 99: 10 990 milliseconds (10-ms units)

1.0 2.0: 1.0 2.0 seconds (100-ms units)
Mn (Manual): Recording starts when you
4.
Use parameter knob 2 to set the

MODE parameter.
The MODE parameter determines how the

recorded phrase is played back. The following
three modes are available.

Changing the Patch Call Method

In the factory default condition, patches are switched as soon as you make the selection,
resulting in an immediate change in the sound. If you want to change to a distant patch, all
the intermediate patches will briefly change the sound, which may not be desirable,
especially during a performance. In such a case, you can change to the preselect method.
When the preselect method is enabled, you first select the desired patch, but the sound does
not change until confirmed by you.

SAMPLER
The sampler function is switched on/off by the
pedal. Pushing the pedal all the way down
toggles between sampler on ([PEDAL] LED lit)
and sampler off ([PEDAL] LED flashed).
Other Functions
Also if a module is currently off, selecting it

with the [PEDAL] key will cause its [PEDAL]
LED to light and the module will temporarily
come on. If a patch is stored in this condition,
the module will be stored as ON.
The actual parameter that is controlled by the

Troubleshooting
No sound, or very low volume
Is the correct AC adapter connected, and the power
switch set to ON?
Refer to "Getting Connected" on page 7 and turn the

power on.
Are [INPUT] jack and [OUTPUT/PHONES] jack
connected correctly to the instrument and amplifier?
Refer to "Getting Connected" on page 7 and establish

correct connections. Check volume settings at
instrument and amplifier.
High noise levels

Adjust ZNR parameter. If problem persists, try
reducing GAIN.
If BOOSTER or COMP/ISOLATOR module is used,
lower GAIN parameter of DRIVE module.
Cannot play rhythm pattern or volume is

very low
Is rhythm volume set to low value?
Adjust parameter knob 3 to obtain suitable volume.
Is the shielded cable defective?
Try replacing the cable.

Is 707II set to mute condition?
Cancel the mute condition.

Is [OUTPUT] knob turned down?
Expression pedal on/off switching does not

work properly.
Try the procedure described in "Adjusting the
Expression Pedal" on page 25.
Set knob to suitable position.

Is expression pedal raised?
For some patches, the expression pedal controls the

volume. Set it to a suitable position.
Cannot record from [AUX IN] jack

Is input source set to "GT"? Set it to "AUX".
Sound is unnaturally distorted

Adjust level and gain parameters of modules.
Set BOOSTER or COMP/ISOLATOR to OFF.
When a guitar with high output is used with the
above effects, unwanted distortion may occur
depending on DRIVE module effect type.
SmartMedia card cannot be used

Is [SMART MEDIA] LED lit?
Turn unit off and check whether SmartMedia card is

inserted properly.
Is correct SmartMedia card used?
The 707II can use SmartMedia cards with a capacity

from 16 to 128 MB (designed for 3.3V).
Has SmartMedia card been formatted?
Be sure to format the SmartMedia card in the 707II

before use, as described on page 31.
